List of Challenge Cup finals

The Challenge Cup was instituted in the 1896–97 and the final was contested between Batley and St Helens at Headingley Stadium in Leeds. In the seasons during the Second World War the final was played over two legs, with the aggregate score being used. The final was played at many different neutral venues until 1928 when it was played at Wembley Stadium for the first time and was played there for the next three seasons. In 1933 the final returned to Wembley for seven consecutive seasons before in 1945 when the final permently became a Wembley final.

In 1909-10 Leeds and Hull F.C. drew 7-7 for the first time in a final at Huddersfield and instead of playing golden point like draws in earlier rounds are sent to, it was sent to a replay which Leeds won. There have been 3 replays, the latest being 1981-82 at Elland Road between Hull F.C. and Widnes Vikings. In 2015 Leeds beat Hull KR 50-0 in the biggest win in Challenge Cup history.
